Di you try to Unplug the Unit for Few minutes and Turn it Back ON.If not, do it right away.

Usually, i have seen this Problem with Sets more than 5 years old. How OLD is the Unit?

If the Timer Light, not even Pauses for 2-3 Seconds, this is actually bad news, the set is not exactly dead but does need about $500-$800 worth of repair work so many would consider this dead at this point.

There are two boards in your set that are common to fail, but Mitsubishi will not sell them individually, they require the "chassis" of the TV to be sent in and repaired by them. This is not good news because it causes the price to be so high on the repair. The two boards that fail are the DM and the formatter, Unfortunately this is actually a very common occurrence, I see many disappointed customers in your position that end up with a TV that's only a few years old and needs more money than it's worth in most cases.

The only good advice I can give you is to call Mitsubishi and complain to them, sometimes they will pay for part of the repair but this set is getting older now so I don't know if they will still do anything for you or not. I am sorry I don't have a quick fix or easy answer for this one.

Unplug from the wall and hit the power button on the tv. The light may come on dim then fade out or you hear a click. This means it has built in surge protection. Plug it back into the wall and you should be good to go if nothing burnt up.

Resetting the TV If the buttons on the remote AND the buttons on the TV case do not work (channels do not change and you cannot open or navigate the menu), the TV has stopped responding. Reset the TV as follows:

NOTE: Some TVs have a reset button. If available and accessible, try using the reset buttons before using the steps below. Using the reset buttons can save time. 1.Unplug the TV power cord from the power outlet.2.Unplug any connected devices (DVD, Set-top boxes, etc...)3.Press and hold the TV power button for five seconds.4.Plug the TV power cord back into the power outlet and turn on the TV.5.Open the on-screen menu to confirm that the TV is responding again.6.Turn off the TV and reconnect the devices.7.Turn on the TV.
If ever resetting is no effect then the problem is in the "DM board"The constant blinking green light means that the TV is not booting up. This is a common problem on this set.
Hope it may help you;

tv wont turn on when i hit power it makes the clicking noise like it is going to turn on, but never does and the red timer light next to the power button just flashes.help!trinitron kv29f1uonly clicks and blinks

The set is in protective shutdown because a problem was detected. The 5 blink code indicates that the problem circuit. In this case it is the blanking circuit. Were there any indications of problems prior to the storm? If not, I'll need to lok up this one for the specifics. Do you intend to repair this yourself?

You will need to reset the Netcommand and tuner settings in the set.
The little indented button in the front of the set needs to be pushed in (when the set is off). The front light will blink for about a minute or minute and a half.
Then, reprogram the Netcommand settings.
This should solve your problem.
If you need more information, then, reply to this post and I will respond.

Yes, it's quite possible that you indeed may have sufferd from a Power Spike, induced by lightning during the storm, esspecially if plugged in during said storm. I have had quite a few customers ova the years with this exact problem. I always advise my clients to unplug ALL devices during a storm, and for ones that simply cannot be unplugged then some sort of Spike/Surge Protection device MUST be used. As a matter of interest, I have written many a report to insurance companies to support a claim for a replacement.
